On Friday May 20th, ten students from Senior S and Senior IG, who were selected from an opt-in ballot, walked to Blackburn Lake visitors centre to participate in the Whitehorse Reconciliation Advisory Committee’s Bunjil Schools Project. There they created their own Bunjil puppet with Renate Crow, a local artist, and learnt about Bunjil and local Wurundjeri culture from Uncle Bill Nicholson, a Wurundjeri Elder with the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council.

Bridie- This week has had it’s ups and downs but it was a really good week. On Thursday we had Pink day which was a great success. The grade 6 girls ran the stalls and handed out pink ribbons (I am a grade 6 girl). All together we raised almost $400 dollars for Breast Cancer. In music we have finished our assignment and we will be performing it soon. In maths we had independent learning and it was really fun because we got to play maths games. In art we have been creating mother’s day art and cards. We created flowers in a pot. My mum came in on Wednesday to teach us science. I enjoyed the experiments she did with us and the light bulbs she helped us create. This week has been super and I can’t wait until the weekend because I am exhausted.Sienna - This week in school we have been focusing a bit on mother's day art. The first piece of art we did was we got our mums name and we coloured it in, the second piece of art was in Italian we made mother's day card. The last piece of art is we made flowers out of paper. Then we had Bridie's mum Marika came in and talked to us about physics and energy what it is. She showed us some experiments that we did one of them was with a battery, red and green cords and a light bulb. We had to find out a way to make the light bulb shine with the materials we had. My group fortunately did it. It was really fun to learn the new things and for any ladies reading this HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!Riley.G:This week our art has been focused on mother's day and also for Italian we made Mothers day cards.

The first art we did was in Italian and we made Italian mothers day cards. I like this because everyone’s was different and unique.

This week we also had a mother come in and teaches us all about physics and this was fun. We got to learn how to light up a light bulb and different ways to do it and what works and what doesn't. I am looking forward to when she comes back.
